MOTORISTS are being hit with fines for crossing into a bus lane as they pop in for groceries from a new Tesco Express.

The Tesco completed changes to its entry and exit for drivers a fortnight ago – but innocent drivers hoping to duck into the store are being clocked by council cameras as they switch into the bus lane just before the entrance.

But a new entrance means that many drivers cross into the bus lane before turning into the Tesco

Mum Gemma Norris is just one of the three already hit with a £60 fine for driving through the bus lane on Holderness Road, Hull, East Yorks, already launching an appeal.

The 32-year-old said: “If I lose my appeal it’s not going to be worth the packet of biscuits and the Aero I went in for.

“I know it’s operational at that time but you can’t access the entrance without moving into the bus lane. I’m not paying the fine regardless. The entrance has been like that for two weeks, so it’s long enough to sort this kind of thing out.”
